Coinbase will suspend trading for Badger DAO and Storj on Sept. 28, 2026, following its latest review of assets listed on the U.S. cryptocurrency exchange.
Limit-Only Mode Active Before Suspension
Coinbase has moved the BADGER and STORJ order books into limit-only mode ahead of the suspension. Customers can place and cancel limit orders, while transactions may still execute when matching orders become available. Limit-only mode prevents traders from submitting market orders, giving customers more control over requested prices during the transition.
The restrictions apply to Coinbase's retail, professional and institutional trading services. After the Sept. 28 deadline, customers will no longer be able to buy or sell either token through the affected Coinbase platforms. Coinbase did not announce any automatic conversion program for remaining balances.
Withdrawals Remain Available After Trading Ends
Customers will retain access to their BADGER and STORJ balances. Coinbase said users will continue to have the ability to withdraw both assets, and it did not announce a withdrawal deadline. A trading suspension does not mean that Coinbase has frozen the tokens. Customers can leave supported balances on the platform or transfer them to compatible external wallets.
BADGER is the governance token associated with Badger DAO, a decentralized finance project focused on bringing Bitcoin-linked assets into DeFi. STORJ serves as a payment token within the Storj decentralized cloud-storage ecosystem.
BADGER Falls on Suspension News
BADGER traded near $0.37 on Aug. 30, down approximately 4% over 24 hours, with an intraday range of about $0.365 to $0.385. The timing followed Coinbase's announcement, but the price change cannot be attributed solely to the suspension without further evidence. STORJ traded near $0.074 during the same period, with no comparably clear announcement-linked move.
September Brings Three Coinbase Suspensions
BADGER and STORJ are not Coinbase's only scheduled September suspensions. The exchange previously announced that IoTeX trading would end on Sept. 23. Coinbase also suspended five tokens earlier in August — IDEX, LRC, OMNI, PIRATE and FIS — with withdrawals remaining open after trading ended.
Customers holding BADGER or STORJ now have until Sept. 28 to complete trades through Coinbase, subject to the limit-only restrictions. The exchange has not announced an appeal process, reconsideration period or further review deadline. Withdrawals are expected to continue afterward unless Coinbase publishes a separate update.
